'Stalk them and kill them': Leader of Nation of Islam calls on Black Americans to 'kill those who kill' them

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of Nation of Islam, called on black Americans to "rise up" and "kill those who kill us" if the federal government falls short to "intercede in our affairs."
 

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - The definite call for violence was made by Farrakhan during a July 30 speech delivered at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Miami. The radical leader stated he was looking for "10,000 fearless men" to "rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!"

"I'm looking for 10,000 in the midst of a million. Ten thousand fearless men who say death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny. Death is sweeter than continuing to live and bury our children while the white folks give our killers hamburgers. Death is sweeter than watching us slaughter each other to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Death is sweeter," stated Farrakhan. "The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain. Retaliation is a prescription from God to calm the breasts of those whose children have been slain. So if the federal government won't intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!"

"The Koran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain. Retaliation is a prescription from God to calm the breaths of those whose children have been slain," Farrakhan continued.

"So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling," he added.

Farrakhan is slated to talk next month in Washington, D.C., during a protest organized in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of his 1995 million man march.
